Oddly, Maria was racked with guilt over her role in Tina�s demise. She admitted to Clint that, yes, she encouraged Max to take Tina out of town�and that she lent him the money to buy the Ranch. Maria claimed to have done this only because she thought Max would be good for Tina. Lying through her teeth, Maria claimed to never have dreamed Tina was really pregnant. Her argument proved convincing and Clint believed her.

Gabrielle heard rumors of a white woman being kept alive in the jungle and sent out a guide to investigate. He returned with a feverish and weak Tina! As her fever subsided, a bereft Tina told Gabrielle that she must have miscarried her baby in her terrifying tumble over the falls. When Gabrielle went into labor, Tina helped in the delivery of her beautiful baby boy.

Believing that Tina was married to Max, and that she could give the baby a good life, Gabrielle sorrowfully turned her newborn son over to her. Tina hurried back to Llanview with the baby, but had other plans in mind. Upon her arrival in Llanview, she discovered that Cord was about to marry Kate. She raced to the church, arriving moments after the ceremony. She presented Cord with baby and collapsed at his feet. Cord and Tina named the child, Al (after Cord�s stepfather.) With Tina�s return, Cord and Kate�s marriage was now invalid.
